Remove the last thing and you have a sad reality that is currently happening. People are too glued into their phones and trends already, when just people spam at them nonstop in the social media. Now add into this mess LLM bots and we have a disaster incoming.
Of course, nothing will actually ever happen, except another generation ruined in a new and unique way.
Will anything be done about it? NAW, Line Must Go Up!

Uhh... so what does the rope do? I don't understand. Was it supposed to do something? Hanging? With only 2kg as weight? I mean, theoretically, it is possible using pulley system, but based on what was shown, was it even enough? I'm a bit deep into engineering-level of physics, so I think suspension of disbelief is not suspending for me lol.
Remove the last thing? Check the link two posts above yours.
My thing is that the ropes don't even look like they're all connected?
And the rope around her neck is tied to a curtain rods with a knot.
So even if cutting that one rope did somehow pull the rest of the ropes super hard it would stop at that knot instead of pulling on her neck?
And even if the knot wasn't there it would definitely pull down the curtain rod...

This is a great modern tale of horror, exploring crippling social anxiety of trying to interact in modern settings while depending on AI to help when there are no real people around to rely on instead. The poor girl was isolated and just wanted advice to make decisions and ended up putting too much faith in the algorithm.
I thought so, maybe in the best case it was a suicide how-to guide but like any LLM ended up fudging the details like AI-generated hands so she'll live.

Honestly it's sad that this is something that is actually happening. People are actually relying on AI chatbots to solve their emotional problems instead of talking to actual people or professional therapists, and the advice they're given isn't the best but the person doesn't know that.
This is the grim reality of our future unless we make an effort to stop it. AI should just be used to help us, not be used as a substitute for social interaction.

There are ChatGPT-wrapper chat services that have certain niches so its targetted at a person’s beliefs like Astra which gives advice based on horoscope and it’s pretty detailed and feels very sympathetic.
But I think it’s symptomatic of a bigger problem that we’re not supporting one another enough so there’s an emotional void that we turn elsewhere to fill. So if not for these AI chats, we’d still be pretty miserable and struggle to meet our emotional needs, I don’t think we can blame people for “why don’t you think by yourself” / “why don’t you confide in real friends” etc

The real-life horror is two-fold:
Also - I just love the detail that ChatGPT's initial advice worked, but it was the woman's over-dependence and misuse of the tool that eventually alienated her new friends from her. She missed out on a lot of opportunities to bond with her friends (asking for help with fashion, meal planning, housework advice; sharing a dumbass no-braincells moment as a funny story) and just generally didn't get to explore life or her own interests as much as she should.
There's an element of people-pleasing (?) in her prompts: "topics that are lively", "hype karaoke songs". Almost like she's treating her friends as an audience to score popularity points from, instead of people to form connections with. It's normal to google information like movie reviews, but if I saw a friend google some bullshit like "movies likeable people watch" while we're deciding on the movie, I'd be upset and put off too.
- People being truly alone, not having anyone to ask advice from or not having any support network should they need help, resorting to AI chat to meet their needs.
- People falling for the AI hype/marketing so badly they start outsourcing their thinking and imagination, to the point of handing over their agency and decision-making to what is essentially advanced autocorrect.

I’ve seen ppl still using yahoo answers in these kinda stories but wouldn’t trust ai for some stuff like this
I vaguely remember some group “project” of ppl going to like mess with the google Algorithm to change the result about something completely wrong and it did end up being the result when searched

OK, so for people who don't know the backstory about the ropes, there is a suicide method that has been used in Japan where you create a situation in which an arrangement of ropes replicating the function of a pulley array is accelerated by a fairly small weight (IIRC a dumbbell in the original case) but multiplies the acceleration enough for a noose at the end of the array to snap a neck. However, for obvious reasons the actual arrangement has never been published and of course the mangaka can't draw it accurately even if it has been.
If you think about it, it's supremely tragic for someone who is intelligent and creative enough to come up with such a complicated suicide method to somehow end up in a situation where they contemplated ending their own life and went ahead with it.
There is an easier method that's well known in Japan that has been depicted in manga (also inaccurately on purpose) to "hang" yourself sitting down. You can find it in Samura Hiroaki's manga Bradherley's Coach chapter 6 and Tsurabuchi Kenji's Touge Oni chapter 4. There are others, but those are the two I remember.
